Biographie de l'auteur

Julia Preston considers life as a classroom. Her varied learning opportunities have allowed her to weave the fabric of her life together with threads of experience from many walks of life including sales, management, administration, human resources and entrepreneurial endeavors. The underlying theme of her life, personal growth and self awareness, has been served by each and every life encounter, particularly those provided by marriage and family. She lives in Maryland, a mere one top sign away from her three grandchildren, Katarina, Annelise and Brigitta and their parents, Kristin and Roland. For this sweet blessing, she considers herself fortunate indeed.
